Science is too confusing!

Guardian:

“It was very significant that the FDA advisory committee voted unanimously in favor of offering boosters to people 65 and over and to others who have high-risk exposures like healthcare professionals, so we’re starting down that path,” he said.

“Some of the data we’re seeing coming in, especially from Israel, tells me that it’s likely that they will get to that point. I know people were confused about different messages but this is the way it ought to be, science sort of playing out in a very transparent way, looking at the data coming from multiple places, our country, other countries, and trying to make the best decision for right now. That’s what they did.”

Premier Jason Kenney implored to seek military backup as Alberta health-care system crumbles

'The tank is empty. The well is dry,' states letter from four union leaders

With Alberta's health-care system "collapsing right in front of our eyes," the leaders of four unions representing thousands of health-care workers are calling on Premier Jason Kenney to ask for help from the military and Red Cross.
"There are no more nurses in our province who can be deployed. There are no more paramedics. There are no more respiratory therapists. There are no more support staff," states the Sept. 18 letter to Kenney, which implores him to make a formal request for help from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"The tank is empty. The well is dry."

Can't believe they drive around with urns on their truck. Do you think they play a jingle as they go along?

We can't have mandates on adults because it's political:

"It is unique to kids and their ability to go to our public schools, it's not vaccines mandated in the workplace. But the question here is not about what we do in Mississippi, it's what this President is trying to impose upon the American worker. The President very much wants you and everyone else to believe that this is a fight between politicians," Reeves said on "State of The Union," adding that he doesn't believe Biden has the authority to establish a federal vaccine mandate and is using it as a political distraction.

Republican governor backed off from Trumpian stance. It's to nobody's benefit to hide it if our hospitals start filling up.

The governor has allowed the health districts to promote vaccination.

Map of vaccinations. Wyoming (white) is about 40%. Missouri matches the hillbillies in Arkanasas below it. NE, KS and CO seem to be roughly of the same mind, 50-53% vaccinated.

We're in lockdown again in northern NSW, after one case was active in the community. Sigh, we'd only been out of the last lockdown for about one week. This lockdown is for 7 days, so hopefully that will be it, as I can't travel to Brisbane while we are locked down.

There's an angry mob wandering all over Melbourne. They've been going all day. Yobs. Even some Trump flags there.

Fernland not doing great:

Frustration for New Zealand returnees as Covid quarantine waiting list hits 30,000
Demand for MIQ spaces is vastly outstripping supply, with spots snapped up in just two hours

Overseas New Zealanders trying to return home are facing a queue tens of thousands of people long, as the country reopens bookings to cross the border.

The country’s borders have been strictly controlled since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic – only citizens, permanent residents and a handful of essential workers can enter, and all of them must make a booking to spend two weeks in government-controlled quarantine (MIQ).

Demand for those spaces has vastly outpaced demand, with some hopeful returnees spending weeks refreshing the site, employing “MIQ assistants” or using bots to assist them secure a space.


In total 71.6% of New Zealand’s eligible population (those aged 12 and over) have had at least one dose of the vaccine, and 37.8% are fully vaccinated.

On Tuesday, Ardern announced fines would increase for those caught breaching the rules – the maximum fine for a person would increase to $1,000 to $12,000, and the maximum fine for companies from $1,000 to $15,000.

“Throughout our Covid work, our success has been really based on the fact that people by and large have been really compliant, and it’s meant on a number of occasions now we’ve been able to manage the virus successfully. However there has been the odd person that has broken the rules and put others at risk,” Ardern said.
Just get vaccinating. You cant control any other way.
